Was Paul Happy?
No full text2016 Spring Convocation address by Dr. Greg Carey delivered in Santee Chapel on 29 January 2016. Many imagine Paul as frustrated and cranky, the kind of man who would yell, "Get off my lawn!" He never uses the Greek language of happiness, favoring joy instead. Moreover, Paul's model of ministry favors self-sacrifice over gratification. Yet we read Paul in a society endlessly obsessed with happiness. What happens when we bring contemporary understandings of happiness to Paul's letters? Dr. Carey's current research projects involve how real people engage the Bible. This lecture is part of a larger exploration of happiness and Scripture. Digital video recording (mp4). Duration: 40 minutes, 28 seconds

In this academic lecture, Dr. Stephanie Crumpton, Lancaster Seminary Assistant Professor of Practical Theology, addresses issues relating to theology and violence, asking the questions: What resources help us identify and interrogate theological traditions that serve to justify the violence and subjugation of Black flesh and identity?

Dr. Crumpton is author of A Womanist Pastoral Theology Against Intimate and Cultural Violence (2014, Palgrave Macmillan). Included in the lecture is an excerpt from the motion picture "Beloved" (Director Jonathan Demme. Performers: Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover. DVD. Touchstone Pictures, 1998.)
